The Super Eagles of Nigeria will resume their push for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they take on Lesotho on Friday, October 10, 2025, in Polokwane, South Africa, Soccernet.ng reports.
The encounter promises to be fierce, with both teams—especially the Super Eagles—desperate for vital points in Group C of the CAF qualifiers.
Originally slated to be held in Lesotho, the match was moved to the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane after FIFA deemed the Crocodiles’ home ground unfit to host international fixtures.
The Super Eagles have already opened camp in South Africa, with key stars such as Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi, and Wilfred Ndidi among those expected to feature.
Nigeria are under pressure to pick up maximum points after a slow start to their qualification campaign. Meanwhile, Lesotho will look to build on their impressive performances so far and make home advantage count—even on neutral soil.

Fans can catch the game live on SuperSport Football and SuperSport Variety channels across DStv and GOtv platforms. In Nigeria, NTA is also expected to broadcast the encounter live.
